And now for the extended report... :)

Thursday: woke up early-ish, helped Thor and Cindy move in to their new house for the better part of the day... went and ate a TON at Golden Corral for dinner... yummy stuff... :)

Friday: woke up early-ish again, picked up the "kids" (a.k.a. Karac and Megan), and drove to Chicago. Due to construction on highway 57, ended up in the ghetto... drove to the hotel as quickly as humanly possible, to find ourselves on the outskirts of the ghetto... not bad, could have been much worse... took Megan to the church for the rehearsal, and discovered that we were only in the ghetto by about 4 blocks... :) Saw Trevor and Diana, which was quite pleasant... found an IHOP for dinner, and then took Karac to K-Mart to buy dress clothes... :)

Saturday: woke up earlier than I should have... went to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast, where we encountered the psycho Nazi workers from hell ("you get up... you get napkin!")... realized we had a lot of time to kill, so we drove to the mall, where we were amused in Hot Topic (HT Employee: "... so if you spend $150..." Me: *stifling laughter*), not impressed by the Wizards of the Coast store, and also not really impressed by the other gaming store in the mall... (we shoulda known not to trust MALL gaming stores...) Went to the wedding, got to see Michelle and a chunk of my family (yay.)... went to the reception, and had a generally decent time... food wasn't the best, but at least edible, and the wine was rather good... ;) Went home after that, and I apparently slept through the boyz laughing their ASSES off while watching Most Extreme Elimination Challenge...

Sunday: Woke up early (sensing a theme yet?), picked up Megan, drove back to Carbondale... became vegetables for the rest of the day... :)

Monday: Slept late! (w00t!) Mostly didn't do anything, aside from going to the fabric store and getting fabric for another pair of pants, a skirt, and a hopeful shirt for Gabe... I say hopeful because I don't have a pattern yet... so I'm hoping I can find one, and hoping I bought enough fabric... :) Went over to Thor and Cindy's house, where we watched South Park, as the cable wasn't hooked up yet...

Tuesday: Mostly putzed around all day, until we rode up to St. Louis for the Type O concert... which was VERY kewl... New Death Sensation (1st opening band) was mostly just loud... Lacuna Coil seemed pretty good (it was hard to hear them), and the chick lead singer is hot... :) And Type O rocked very much... and I had a decent view for the first half of their set, and a WONDERFUL view for the second... thanks to the late 30s-early 40s couple that left halfway through, and gave Cindy and I their seats... :)

Wednesday: Slept late (we needed it!) and putzed around... watched "Orgazmo," which I had never seen before... ludicrous doesn't even begin to describe it... :)

So yeah, here I am, back at work, with a clean desk (already!)... such is my exciting life...

And short sentences of DOOOOOOOOOOM! :)
